PART ONE
Questions 1-7
1 Sometimes it is necessary to insist on further explanation.
2 You shouldn't focus on your response while others are still speaking.
3 People are reluctant to admit that they don't listen well.
4 There are benefits in seeing things from the speaker's perspective.
5 Keen observation of the speaker can support our listening skills.
6 It is risky to think about a different issue while someone is speaking.
7 People do not mind hearing their own views summarised.
Good listener, better manager
A
Too often we accuse others of not listening, pretending that we ourselves are faultless, yet in our hearts we know that many of the mistakes we make come about because we haven't listened carefully enough. We get things wrong because we haven't quite understood what someone meant when they were talking to us. Anyone who has ever taken the minutes of a long meeting will know how hard it is to remember - despite the benefit of notes - exactly what everyone said. But success depends on getting things right - and that means listening.
B
Listening is not the same thing as hearing; it is not an effortless activity. It demands attention and concentration. It may mean quizzing the speaker for additional information or for clarification - it is always better to ask than to continue regardless and get things wrong. However, if you allow your mind to wander onto something else, even for a few minutes, you'll miss what the speaker is saying - probably at the very moment when he or she is saying something critical. And not having heard, you won't know you've missed anything until it's too late.
C
The most common bad habit we have is to start thinking of what we are going to say about the subject long before the other speaker has finished. We then stop listening. Even worse, this often adds rudeness to inattentiveness, as once you have decided what to say there is a fair chance you will interrupt to say it. Good listeners don't interrupt. In fact it is often worth explaining the main idea of what you have just been told before going on to make your own points. Nobody is offended by this and it shows that you have listened well.
D
Above all be patient and accept that many people are not very good communicators. It's helpful to remember that the ways people move and position themselves while they are speaking can reveal a great deal about what they are saying. Equally importantly you should put yourself in the other person's place, both intellectually and emotionally; it will help you to understand what they are getting at and form a response. But don't be too clever. Faced with a know-all, many people keep quiet because they see no point in continuing.
Test 3
READING
PART ONE
Questions 1-7
1 Listen to what your boss tells you about how well you are working.
2 Realise that your boss will occasionally need to be left alone.
3 Comment on your boss's work in a positive spirit.
4 Try to impress your boss with your thoroughness.
5 Do not hesitate to involve your boss if you have difficulties with your work.
6 Show your boss that you are capable of working at a higher level.
7 Speak to your boss, even about matters not directly related to your work.
MANAGE YOUR BOSS
Advice from four top business people on how you should treat your boss
A
The Consultant
No boss likes nasty surprises. Thinking you can solve a serious problem before he or she finds out is a doomed strategy. Much better to inform your boss about the situation early on, together with your suggested solution. Also, remember that bosses like praise as much as any employee. Do this without making it obvious, if only to earn the right to criticise (constructively, of course). 'Consideration' is the key word. Treat bosses as you hope to be treated - it should help you to move up to the next level.
B
The Director
Of course there are all the formal things in managing your boss - ensuring that you come to meetings well prepared, that you have a good eye for detail, and so on. But you also need to distinguish effectively between things that are important and things that are merely small details. Bosses like it if you can see 'the big picture' because they want to be able to delegate. So it's all about psychology, as well as performance.
C
The Chairman
Bosses want people to understand their objectives, their way of working and the pressures they are under. If you can understand what sort of individual your boss is, it is easier to appreciate why certain reactions might arise, and thus avoid problems. Also, keep the lines o f communication with your boss open. You need to receive ongoing feedback on whether your work is effective, asking about what you do not understand, and, if necessary, discussing personal issues from outside the workplace. When the gap between you is reduced. so are the difficulties.
D
The Chief Executive
Understand that a boss will want to take the glory when things go well. After all, they take ultimate responsibility, so they deserve some of the credit. Also, find out about your boss's outside interests, as this can help to improve the relationship. You may find you have an interest in common. Similarly, recognise that everyone is human, and there are times when a request from you may be unwelcome. Get to know your boss's Personal Assistant, who can advise you when it is a good time to talk to him or her.

练习2. Japanese McDonald’s
If you always thought of McDonald‘s as an all-American company it, may surprise you to
learn that the king of McDonald‘s franchises is named Fujita and that he doesn‘t eat hamburgers. ____1____ By ignoring many of the customs of both his native and his parent company, Fujita has made McDonald‘s the top fast-food business in Japan and has changed the face of franchising.
McDonald‘s came to Japan in 1970 searching for a Japanese partner with whom to create a Japanese McDonald‘s. Fujita was far from the richest potential candidate interviewed, but he was an eager entrepreneur who seemed willing to devote his energies to the new venture. ____2____ Almost immediately, however, Fujita began going his own way. The parent company r ecommended opening the first Japanese McDonald‘s in the suburbs, where most American fast-food stores are located. Fujita had his own ideas. ____3____ He got his way, opened the first Japanese McDonald‘s in a department store in Tokyo, didn‘t spend anythin g on advertising. ____4____
McDonald‘s learned its lesson from Fujita and has since opened inner-city restaurant around the world. ____5____ While the Japanese seem fascinated with western styles and tastes, they often don‘t think of themselves as consumers of American products. So Fujita‘s McDonald‘s franchises play down their American origins, to the point where, according to Fujita, some Japanese who visit the United States are surprised to find that we have ?Makudonarudo‘, as the Japanese say it, in America too.
A.In fact, Fujita is unusual in many respects, and his uniqueness has made him very rich.
B.McDonald‘s took a chance and chose him.
C.Fujita and McDonald‘s continue to benefit from each other.
D.Other companies might learn from the way Fujita marketed McDonald‘s in Japan.
E.Fujita likes to take credit for a rise in the average weight of his people.
F.And within a year he had broken McDonald‘s world record for one-day sales: $14,000.
G.He thought the young pedestrians of Japan‘s cities were more likely to give up Japan fish-and
–rice diet for a hamburger than were the more traditional suburban dwellers.
H.But Fujita himself prefers noodles to Big Macs.
I.And the Tokyo McDonald‘s that once caused an argument is now one of 500 that Fujita owns
in Japan.

练习3. Banks and Banking : Other Bank Services
A modern bank provides many services other than checking accounts. ____1____
If you went to a bank to open a savings account, you would go through almost the same procedures followed in applying for a checking account. ____2____ Then you would be given a passbook in which your initial deposit would be recorded. All deposits and withdrawals from your account are entered into your passbook. ____3____ With a regular passbook savings account, you would be able to withdraw money wherever you needed it. All you would have to do is fill out a withdrawal order and present it, along with your passbook to the teller.
All banks pay interest on savings accounts. ____4____ Banks also pay interest at different times. ____5____ Suppose, for example, that on January 1, you deposited $ 1,000 in a bank that paid 4 1/2 percent interest semiannually. By July 1,you would have earned $ 22.50 interest. This interest would automatically be credited to your account; and of you left it in the bank, along with
your original deposit, you would receive interest on $ 1,022.50 for the next six-month period. That is, your interest would be compounded.
A.But the majority of them pay semiannually, that is, every six months.
B.The interest rate varies from bank to bank, but the general range is from 4 1/2 to 6 percent.
C.This means that passbook contains an actual record of all transactions made and that you
know the exact amount of savings you have at any one time.
D.One of these is checking accounts.
E.First you would be asked to fill out a signature card.
F.But most banks pay interest at the end of a year.
G.One of the most important of these is regular passbook savings.
H. O ne can withdraw money whenever necessary.

练习3. Banks and Banking : Other Bank Services
A modern bank provides many services other than checking accounts. ____1____
If you went to a bank to open a savings account, you would go through almost the same procedures followed in applying for a checking account. ____2____ Then you would be given a passbook in which your initial deposit would be recorded. All deposits and withdrawals from your account are entered into your passbook. ____3____ With a regular passbook savings account, you would be able to withdraw money wherever you needed it. All you would have to do is fill out a withdrawal order and present it, along with your passbook to the teller.
All banks pay interest on savings accounts. ____4____ Banks also pay interest at different times. ____5____ Suppose, for example, that on January 1, you deposited $ 1,000 in a bank that paid 4 1/2 percent interest semiannually. By July 1,you would have earned $ 22.50 interest. This interest would automatically be credited to your account; and of you left it in the bank, along with your original deposit, you would receive interest on $ 1,022.50 for the next six-month period. That is, your interest would be compounded.
A.But the majority of them pay semiannually, that is, every six months.
B.The interest rate varies from bank to bank, but the general range is from 4 1/2 to 6
percent.
C.This means that passbook contains an actual record of all transactions made and that you
know the exact amount of savings you have at any one time.
D.One of these is checking accounts.
E.First you would be asked to fill out a signature card.
F.But most banks pay interest at the end of a year.
G.One of the most important of these is regular passbook savings.
H.One can withdraw money whenever necessary.
答案：1.G；2. ；3. ；4. B；5. A

Unit 6a Reporting Results 第六单元a 报告业绩 Annual Report 年度报告 A 我们目前正实施的资源增效计划所创造的利润基本抵消了罢工及不利汇价造成的损失，这种成本绩效的改进，实现了高达1亿英镑的业绩。另外一个收人来源是最近我们出售了独家拥有的子公司迪诺克斯。 B 公司稳步发展，税前利润和例外项目上升到5.96亿英镑。公司业绩良好的一个特点仍然还是严格的现金管理制度。投资的增加给公司带来了压力，但资产负债表显示，尽管有3.46亿英镑的支出，净现金收入还是达到了32亿英镑。 C 贸易额增长了4.5%，与近几年相比有了大幅度的提高；营业额提高了3%。去年底完成的结构重组计划，使经营利润也同时增长。这一项目虽然成功、但也使净现金减少到4.72亿英镑。 D 去年我们的主要业绩是收购了一家特色化工制品公司。这一投资以及已经制定的资产出售计划。将使公司的经营范围更加合理。由于公司非核心业务经营业绩不佳。交易利润下降了7%，证明我们目前所采取的行动是合理的。 Unit 7a Health and Safety 第七单元a 卫生与安全 5 STEPS TO RISH ASSESSMENT 风险评估的五个步骤 风险评估就是对工作中可能导致人身伤害的潜在危险进行周密极查，以此判断是否已经采取了足够的防范措施或者是否应该增加其他措施以防止危害发生。风险评估的目的是保证没有人受到人身伤害或者得病。事故和疾病可能夺去人的生命，而且，如果产量减少、机器被毁、保险费用增加或者需要打官司，还会影响到公司的业务。 进行风险评估时需要判断的重要事项包括：判断事故隐患是否重大，是否采取了适当的防范措施以把危害减到最小。 如果你的公司规模很小，井且你自信熟悉风险评估这项工作，你可以进行自我评估，或者，你也可以让有责任心的员工、安全事务代理人、安全员来帮你做这项工作。如果你自己没有把握，可向地方健康和安全监督员咨询。但切记：你有责任保证防范借施充分落实到位。 第一步 在你的工作场所周围巡视一遍，重新检查有什么可能引起伤害的潜在危险。忽略无关紧要的细节，把注意力集中在可能引起重大伤害或可能伤及群休的重大隐患上。向你的员工或员工代表了解他们的想法。因为他们每天身临工作场所，每天都在工作，他们可能已经注意到了一些井不是一目了然的情况。 第二步 把那些并不始终在工作场所的人员也考虑进去，比如清洁工、承包人以及维修人员。那些到访的公众也要考虑进去，他们也有可能因为你们的生产活动而受到伤害。 第三步 即使采取了充分的防范措施，仍然还会有危险存在。你需要对每种重大隐患作出判断：现存的危险是否重大，一般还是很小。首先，要考虑是否已经做了法律要求你必须做的一切。再想一想普遍接受的行业标准是否适宜。但不要就此而止，还要再为自己考虑一下，因为法.律规定你必须采取合理措施以保证工作场所的安全。切记：你的目的是通过增加必要的防范措施来减少安全隐患。 第四步 如果你的员工少于5人，就不必采用书面形式记录下来；但如果你有5个或5个以上的员工，就必须把评估的主要结果记录下来。也就是说要把那些较为重大的隐患写下来，并把最重要的发现结果记录在案。你应该保存这一书面材料以备将来参考。如果监督员来查询你的防范措施或者如果你卷入了一场民事责任诉讼，这份材料对你就特别有用。这份材料还能够证明你已经按照法律行事了，而且它还可么提醒你密切关注具体事务或者引起你优虑的事故隐患。 第五步 有时候，你无疑需要引进新的机器、物品以及工作程序，而这些有可能引发新的隐患。如果有重大变化，

S. begin to realise that investors demand financial reporting to be truly presented: creative accounting is no longer acceptable. In response to the criticism about how it booked the gain on the sale of one of its businesses. IBM announced on Feb. 19th that it would expand the informaton it provides investors on such things as its intellectual-property income and the impact on earnings of the company's overfunded pension plan. And a day later, General Electric Co. Chairman and Chief Executive Jeffrey R. Immelt also pay heed to investors' calls for better disclosure by promising to provide more detail on how the company's individual units —including its finance departrment. GE Capital —churn out their earnings. B Expect this lifting of the veil to spread rapidly throughout corporate America, In the wake of Enron's collapse and questionable accounting at telecommunications companies such as Global Crossing Ltd., investors are demanding better. more frequent, and more expansive information about companies' financial health. This rising pressure will force executives in boardrooms across the country to wrestle with exactly how much new information to reveal, much less the question of how to flag changes for investors without causing their stocks to tank. "GE and IBM are bellwethers," says Patrick S. McGurn, vice-president at proxy advisory service Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. "You will see a huge wave of imitation." C Of course, that's good for shareholders —and for the long-term health of the market, But the tsunami of new disclosures, unfortunately, isn't necessarily what the recovering economy needs right now. The trick will be to strike the right balance. Companies that reveal too little, too late will get punished in the market. But dumping too much on shareholders may only muddy the picture further. "If you give too much information, people can get overwhelmed by the minutia, and the important stuff gets buried." says Charles M. Elson, director of the Centre for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware. D In fact, IBM and G E join a growing list of companies that have already been compelled to improve their disclosure, At Tyco International Ltd., which has been buffeted by concerns about its complex accounting and financial health, senior execs have begun holding weekly phone conferences with analysts and investors to address questions about its accounting and operations. Franchising giant Cendant Corp. has put detailed information on its Website about its off-balance-sheet entities, while hotel operator Marriott International Inc. recently provided details on write-offs it has taken for loan guarantees as well as some hotel-development projects.

TEST2 PART 1 这篇文章讲的是倾听（listening）的重要性。一个好的管理者必然是一个好的倾听者，所以要讲究倾听的艺术。 第一题，有时坚持进一步的解释是很有必要的。答案是B段的这么一句：It may mean quizzing the speaker for additional information or for clarification - it is always better to ask than to continue regardless and get things wrong它可能意味着为了进一步的信息和说明去询问说话的人——问总比不顾情况的继续并且把事情办错的好。这里的additional information对应于further explanation. 第二题，不能在别人还在说的时候就开始关注自己的回应。答案是C段的第一句：The most common bad habit we have is to start thinking of what we are going to say about the subject long before the other speaker has finished。我们最常见的坏习惯就是在讲话者远还没结束的时候就开始思考我们将对这个话题说些什么。这里的before the other speaker has finished就是others are still speaking，focus on your response 就是start thinking of what we are going to say about the subject。 第三题，人们不愿意承认自己没有听好。答案是A段的第一句：Too often we accuse others of not listening, pretending that we ourselves are faultless, yet in our hearts we know that many of the mistakes we make come about because we haven't listened carefully enough。我们经常指责别人没有好好听，假装我们自己是无可指责的，其实在我们心里知道，很多我们所犯的错误都是由于听的不够仔细。这句的意思就是说我们心里知道什么原因，但是口头上喜欢指责别人。也就是第三题题干说的不愿意承认。 第四题，从说话者的视角去考虑问题是有好处的。答案是D段的这么一句：Equally importantly you should put yourself in the other person's place, both intellectually and emotionally。同样重要的是你必须把自己置于别人的位置上，既是智力上的也是情感上的。这里的put yourself in other person’s plac e就是seeing things from the speaker’s perspective。
